What is StreamNZB?

StreamNZB is a managed ElfHosted Stremio subscription that connects supported user-configured Usenet workflows with Stremio, using ElfHosted-managed hosting and integration around the indexers and provider accounts configured by the user. It runs as a single service, with no separate download client to maintain.

This subscription includes the hosted StreamNZB addon, a bundled third-party Usenet account, a bundled third-party TorBox account, and Debridge support, with optional BYO provider support for compatible workflows.

What is included

• Hosted StreamNZB: managed by ElfHosted, with hosting, updates, and operational support handled for you.
• Bundled third-party Usenet account: Usenet Essential is included for supported Usenet-aware routing, so native streaming works without adding your own provider.
• Debridge support: provider-key orchestration for supported cached and Usenet-backed streaming workflows.
• Bundled third-party TorBox account: TorBox Essential is included as an additional provider route where supported.
• Optional BYO provider accounts: add supported Usenet provider and indexer credentials where compatible with your configuration.

How it works

You configure your own Newznab-compatible indexers, and pick a streaming engine: Native uses the bundled Usenet account (or your own provider accounts), and Debridge orchestrates supported provider accounts to prepare a ready-to-play link. Results are ranked and filtered by StreamNZB before they are presented in Stremio.

What sets StreamNZB apart

• One binary, nothing else to run: no separate download client or WebDAV backend to pair with it.
• Its own metadata provider: StreamNZB serves its own catalogs, search, and title pages, so it can be the only addon you install.
• Parental controls: a per-profile age cap applies across catalogs, search, and playback, with dedicated family and kids catalogs, so a restricted profile and an unrestricted one can run side by side.
• Your choice of engine: stream natively from your own provider accounts, or use Debridge for supported provider-aware routing.

Best fit

• Stremio users who want a managed, single-binary Usenet-aware addon without maintaining the hosting stack themselves
• users who want their own catalogs, search, and parental controls in the addon itself
• users who want Debridge support and a bundled third-party TorBox account in the same subscription
• households that want a rating-capped profile alongside an unrestricted one

Frequently Asked Questions

Which provider accounts are included?
This subscription includes a bundled third-party TorBox Essential account for supported workflows. You configure your own Usenet provider and indexers.

Do I need a separate download client?
No. StreamNZB runs as a single service and does not require NzbDAV or a separate download client.

Content and user responsibility

User responsibility: ElfHosted does not provide, host, recommend, curate, or select content. Any indexing, lookup, or routing activity is automated and driven by the user's configuration, provider accounts, and addon activity. Users are responsible for ensuring they only access content they are legally authorized to use.

StreamNZB is for users who want a managed, single-binary Usenet-aware Stremio workflow with its own catalogs, parental controls, Debridge support, and a bundled third-party provider account in one subscription.
